First Look: Ben Kingsley as Nizam in Disney's Prince of Persia
July 21, 2009

by Alex Billington
Disney is really going all out with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time this week. Ironically, though, they're not showing anything at Comic-Con (or is it just a secret?). ComingSoon has debuted the first photo of Ben Kingsley as the "villainous nobleman" Nizam from the movie. Earlier today the first two teaser posters for the movie were also unveiled (check those out here) and I have a feeling we might see a lot more from this sometime very soon. Maybe even a trailer this weekend in front of G-Force? I mean, that is a Jerry Bruckheimer movie, and so is this, it would make sense. With that said, take a look at this photo of Kingsley.
His character is a bit different than the villain from the game, or so I gather. However, he has the same goal (to acquire the Sands of Time) and eventually ends up one-on-one with the Prince. In the fantasy adventure based on Ubisoft's video game, Jake Gyllenhaal will play Dastan, a young prince in sixth century Persia who must join forces with Tamina (Gemma Arterton), a feisty and exotic princess, to prevent an evil nobleman (Kingsley) from possessing the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world. Alfred Molina and Toby Kebbell co-star in the Mike Newell-directed film.

Well, if they ever need a villain for a Flash Gordon remake…

Reading some comments, I got the impression that some people already saw the movie!
His character is a bit different than the villain from the game
Yes, but he's great actor!

Looks nice, but he has been known to star in his share of stinkers ("A Sound of Thunder" anyone?)

#9, yeah, but he has even more good movies, Suspect 0, Lucky Number Sleven, You Kill Me, Schindler's List… An actor can only do so much when the script/director suck. You can't blame a sucky movie on just the actor(s).

Well I can't say if this film is going to do well but I think it at least deserves a shot! I mean what did people think when Disney decided to release a Pirates of the Caribbean movie? I am a born and raised floridian and I hate that ride. Basically a darker version of Its a Small World. And the first movie was great! So just give it a chance and then talk shit about it after its release…and I think all of the haters just need to get laid…they seem to have aggression issues.

Ah! Kingsley! Well that brings a bit more to the table. I'll anxiously await a trailer.

Well the man does very well for himself, doesn't need the work or the money. So maybe this won't be so bad. At this point it's hard to say. Could go either way.

@6Chris, Ah, good one. But you know I'd watch him in a Flash Gordan Remake. Max Von Sidow's role was one of my favorite things about the original. Well that and the Princess, fuckin sexy as hell. My early teen mind about exploded! And the music by Queen blew me away.

@#11 To add an another unnoticed great movie from Kingsley, "The Wackness". If you guys haven't seen it yet you have too. Great screenplay and acting from him and Josh Peck.

Looks a bit like "Zoltar Speaks" wish machine from the movie Big (1988).

All I'm going to say is that you really can't go wrong with Kingsley. He gives this movie some older actor cred.
